//// Taking the DIY slashed one out
Posted on | October 2, 2009 | 6 Comments
I have been hesitating taking my DIY slashed T-shirt dress — aka poor girls Wang — out as a star of it’s own. I don’t do sexy dressing; and there is sex written all over the figure skimming nearly transparent American Apparel jersey. Slashing does not actually help. But one aim of this blog is to push myself out of my comfort zone, so I tried my best to tone the little devil down to wearable level with other tricks than using it as an underlayer.
I layered the dress over black American Apparel tube dress (this is one of the simplest and most useful garments I have) and H&M Divided Exclusive mesh leggings. My loved A.F. Vandevorst giant shrug camouflages the body contours quite nicely and adds volume. Huge disc necklace is from Pilgrim (I have heaps of disc jewelry, they kind of represent me an idea of an adornment, a detail with no details). I was not in the mood to add any black to this outfit anymore, so I let the Topshop wedges with wooden soles and bone white laquered leather offset the ensemble.
Excuse my dorky poses, I’m still very uncomfortable in front of the camera. But the visual feedback is very useful tool for wardrobe remixer, so I’m not giving up.

Jee! Viipaloitu t-paita on mahtis, samoin koko setti. Vandevorstin neule tekee kokonaisuudesta hyvin hienostuneen!

Hot and cool!
I was about to buy those mesh leggings, but I chickened out and got far to self consious as I thought I was to old to wear them (I am 37). I regret that now, seing your photos. I do hope they still have them at my favourite H&M store, if not, I guess I just have to break down and get back up again…
You look über cool in that ensemble.

Very cool.

Very, very cool! Dorky poses are the best!

You look great! That layering is just right, sexy but not over-sexy. You’re an inspiration. And they are not dorky poses (and anyway even if they were, you still look great!)

Anna: tuo Vandevorst on yksi niistä sijoituksista, joita ei tosiaankaan ole tarvinnut katua. Lempivaate, jota todennäköisesti käytän vielä mummonakin (näin kyllä ajattelen kaikista lempivaatteistani)!
Annika: hope that you get these — I guess that they will be quite useful. The edgier option for sheer tights.
May, sugar kane, Kruse: thanks, girls
